The Brainpool one in particular is an excellent exhortation to not get too bogged down in theory, channelled through the mind of a horny about 20-year-old guy.

jesperhaglund.bsky.social•13 days ago

For example: "And though your daddy drives a bus, you're making every kind of fuss, why can't you see he's one of us, leave the man alone and maybe, we'll spend the night together"

Or: "You say that Goldman is okay, and I think that you are too, babe."

I don’t really have one this time (I need to), but for Trump 1.0 it was Not Ready to Make Nice. Actually maybe I’ll just bring it back for 2.0, hits right every time & still true as ever.

This is a long time thing for me, but - the 10 minute version of Sinnerman, Nina Simone. 10 minutes is long enough to sit down and breathe (or go tidy up, or whatever) instead of going off half-cocked at something.

Oooh, my shuffler just delivered another Carsie Blanton tune, "Shit List", in case you're still looking for suggestions. If anything it's *angrier* than "Rich People".
